XML formatting

programming flash
1

I load a neatly formated XML into Flash in the form of:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
	<settings
	prop0="0"
	prop1="1"
	/>
</root>

But when I change the props values of the xml, and set it to the clipboard, I loose all of the tabs, spaces, and line breaks.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root><settings	prop0="0" prop1="1" /></root>

Is there a way to retain the formatting? I tried ignorWhitespaces, prettyIndent, prettyPrinting but non of those seem to work.
